Noodler's Habanero

[Signum1]

We are still in Fall. Old man winter has yet to appear with his seasonal dandruff. For tonight, we have Noodler's Habanero. It's the orange stuff. Notice how this ink appears under a fine nib as you read futher down the ink review. Interesting, eh?

Habanero is one of my regular inks. Your sample, on my screen looks like a uniform orange. When I use it, particularly with a wet medium nib, the color isn't uniform at all. Instead, I see shadings of orange, red, and yellow which I find very attractive. That lends interest to the writing and an Autumn feel. Still, the ink is dark enough to be easily read. It's good to find a fun, bright color that performs as well as Habanero.

Great review. Your combintaion of nib size/ink is very appealing. Those Pelikan wider nibs really do a good job showing the vibrancy of the color and its color shading. Have enjoyed using that ink in the past. Will have to try it in one of my Pelikan medium nibs.

I enjoyed your review, especially presented in the italics. (And can only envy the consistency of your letterforms!)

Orange is one color I don't yet have, and since it seems to shade beautifully, I might just have to add it to my want list.

 

Thanks for the review!

Shortly after I done a few ink reviews, someone mention that the ink with my broad nib looked different than the ink he had. In a nutshell, different nib sizes brought out different qualities of a particular ink. That's why I added a fine nib for comparison because the ink may look different to someone using a fine nib as oppose to my broad nib. I too, find shading as an added bonus. It's like buy two inks for the price of one. Yet, there are other fountain pen users with a preference for a uniform colour of a particular ink. That is the main reason I include a fine nib in the comparison section. I'm glad you like the Habanero. If you can make the time, I would certainly like to read an ink review from you. A broad nib would be an excellent choice.

Thanks for the compliments, Carol. Italics is a skill I have, yet flex nib mastery is something I need work on as well as the blackletter script.
